"The combined effect of bad management of their 'protest problem' in the UK, with fears of an expected 'second wave' of robust anti-war activism in both UK and US sites as the Iran confrontation increases could lead the ailing US company to sell off its UK subsidiary EDO (UK) in Brighton where the troubles began.

WELL IT COULD BUT AS THEY HAVE GIVEN NO INDICATION OF THAT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKEY TO HAPPEN. THE "ROBUST" ANTI-WAR ACTIVISM IN THE UK IS AS US GROWN UPS KNOW A LARGELY SPENT FORCE NOW WITH NO IMPACT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF COMPANIES LIKE THESE

EDO have relied for confidence in their future growth on sales in the Warlock IED counter measure system but these have not come forward as DoD considers troop withdrawal as the best defence.

THE IED COUNTER MEASURES SYSTEM ACCOUNTS FOR 12% OF INCOME.

News of the Gaza 'beach massacre' also most likelyeffected share price on speculation that Israeli navy Saar 5 vessel with EDO tagetting equipment may have been involved, implicating EDO Corp directors in possible future war crimes prosecution as aiders and abettors unless they end supplies and support for Israeli military.

THIS WAS AN HAMAS BOOBY TRAP, THAT WAS CLEAR THREE HOURS AFTER THE EVENT

Institutaional investors such as CCM and Fidelity are likely to see EDO as a greater risk than ever now that anti-war/ president Bush sentiments have risen to all time high in US.

ANY PROOF OF THEIS OR JUST MORE SPECULATION BASED ON WHAT YOU WISH WOULD HAPPEN ?

Overall EDO have drawn so much attention to themselves with their illegal attempt to ban protests in Brighton that hackers and even more zealous political interests are more than likely lining up to bring them down. Most financial experts have so far recommended holding onto EDO shares but the latest news will no doubt lead to further changes of mind.

FINANCIAL ANALYSTS CONTINUE TO RECOMEND EDO AS A "HOLD" WITH SOME CALLING FOR A "BUY". WHEN WILL THIS "HACKING" START BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN FUCK ALL SO FAR !

This analyst recommends strong sell of EDO as not worth the risk in the long term.Ethical investment in future post-peak-oil technologies and alternative energy resources seem a better and more sustainable bet, as oil focussed warmongering has side effects of possible nuclear destruction of all life-and business-on earth.

REFER YOU TO THE EARLIER POINT ABOUT INVESTMENT ADVICE.

PUTTING UP A POST WITH YOUR WISH LIST IS NOT NEWS. THE EDO/MBM CAMPAIGN HAS ACHIEVED NOTHING BEYOND SOME SO CALLED ACTIVIST GETTING A KICKING FROM SOME OF THE WORKERS THERE IN A PUB THREE WEEKS AGO !
